Comment préparer Authentic Northern Italian Meatballs

In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg whites (or whole eggs), grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Gradually add the fat-free chicken stock (or regular chicken stock), mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs) until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for tender meatballs.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Roll the meatball mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned.
Serve immediately or allow to cool completely before freezing for future use. Enjoy in your favorite pasta sauce, on top of salads, or as a delicious appetizer!
